The Screen Saver Mac OS

Finally, there is another 'Screen Savers' folder that only contains the screensavers that came with your installation of Mac OS X by default. These are located at '/System/Library/Screen Savers'. If you have the permissions to enter these folders, you should be able to browse to them using the Finder. To do this, open the System Preferences and click “Desktop & Screen Saver”. Now you can select your screen saver, which will also become your new desktop wallpaper. Next, open the Terminal, which can be found in Applications Utilities. With the Terminal open, type the following command (or just copy and paste it) and hit Enter.

Earlier, Mac users could fetch photos from the Photo Library to set them as the screen saver. Then Apple surprised Mac users by allowing them to get Apple TV aerial views screen saver. And now, the latest thing is you can set up a video as your Mac screensaver.

Step #2. A dialog box opens with SaveHollywood file and a Read Me document. Double-click SaveHollywood file.

Signing off…

SaveHollywood is an easy way to set up videos as Mac screen saver. To my mind, this tool is quite useful for users, who doze off in front of their Mac.

A video with high sound will work as a wake-up alarm. Fun apart, SaveHollywood is a brilliant way to keep yourself motivated by some fantastic videos in office. At home, you can use videos of your family.

In the settings you specify the time 'Inactivity' in seconds longer than you basically are out.

Example:
Let's say you drink an average of coffee (or tea) for 10 minutes (600 seconds). Set the parameter 'Inactivity' equal to 660 seconds, and when you come to your Mac, you'll notice that someone was trying to enter the password.
